Accelerating Biological Discovery
by Removing Computational Barriers
Our vision is to build the operating system where biological data becomes life science breakthroughs
Why Platforma exists
Modern discovery is computationally intensive—yet many research environments rely on loosely connected scripts, isolated tools, and manual coordination
We saw a fundamental disconnect in modern biology. Biologists were designing incredible experiments, but waiting months to decode the massive NGS datasets they generated. The pace of discovery was being limited not by science, but by a computational bottleneck.
Founded by scientists with deep roots in theoretical physics and computational biology, MiLaboratories was built to bridge this gap. We believe researchers should be able to interrogate their data directly and intuitively, without relying on command-line interfaces or overburdened bioinformatics cores. Platforma is the realization of that belief: a UI-first platform that puts enterprise-grade computational power directly into the hands of the biologist.

Our journey began in 2013 with the creation of MiXCR — an open-source tool for analyzing T-cell and B-cell receptor sequencing data. Today, MiXCR is universally recognized as the industry standard for immune repertoire profiling, serving as the trusted analytical engine behind breakthroughs in vaccine development, antibody discovery, and cancer immunotherapy. Platforma extends this globally adopted computational foundation into a governed, scalable infrastructure for modern discovery programs.
